Javier, Pretty good idea, also I believe will be good if you talk a little bit about our project and idea with Manu because as I know he is working on a project called suseware, http://suseware.com/home/ and If I'm not mistake the main purpose of suseware is to delivery training materials for openSUSE using moodle as LMS tool.
Also I have some links that I like to share with you tha I think could be used as good references for your project. http://www.easywebtech.com/ebooks/Free_Suse_ebooks_Download-0.html http://ocw.novell.com/suse-linux-enterprise-desktop/get-ready-for-open-source-suse-linux-enterprise-desktop-book-1 http://ocw.novell.com/suse-linux-enterprise-desktop/get-ready-for-open-source-suse-linux-enterprise-desktop-book-2 http://www.opensuse-guide.org/ http://ocw.novell.com/ - so good http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse113/pdfdoc/art_osuse_installquick_113/art_osuse_installquick_113.pdf http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Lessons_for_Lizards http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse113 http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Cheat_sheets http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_migrate_to_a_new_openSUSE_version Another topic that I would like to talk with you about your project is "localizations" What do you think to have this material at least localized to all ambassadors native languages? I believe as ambassadors we have a valuable skill to be explored, almost of us have some kind of influence in some universities, then I believe we can try to find volunteers within universities and schools to help us to speed up the localization process. more bellow..

To help other ambassadors to download and adapt to their needs or even end-users, developers and companies. Let's suppose that we got such big companies like Petrobras, Banco do Brasil, Pegeot, HSBC, that already are hard openSUSE or SLE based adopters and they wishes to have their own opensuse handbook - with more focus, contents, screenshots to but based and adapted to their own openSUSE usage and needs. > > > > Second, we would have to write about those topics not included in the wiki > > and > > review those already written.

My comments here are identical as let above.

If we develop a kind of openSUSE universities partnership proposal could be very helpful but also possible without this partnership proposal ;) - Public and Private schools and universities the only difference is how to approach ;) > > > > On the other hand, I think that the handbook would make openSUSE more > > "visible" and a bit more "ready to use."
